I don't think people appreciate the extensive effort MS and manufacturers
have made to have some consistency and backward compatibility. Something
Apple has never been able to do.
My point: Apple is now stepping into the real world. I don't think they are
at all prepared for it.
I loved that smug add from them saying something about PCs not doing any
real work ,, and now that the mac is an intel machine.. you can get real
work done.. .. what a bunch of asses. Only complete idiots would buy that
kind of bull.
Talk about backtracking. Must have been painful to the mac zealots out
there.
